Save the /var/cfengine/masterfiles/promises.cf file.

Return to cfhost and manually start the agent by running: ‘

/var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent -Kv

The ‘-K’ switch will bypass any locks and the ‘-v’ switch will allow you to see the actual output. By default, cf-agent will only execute a policy at minimum once a minute. When we specify the -K flag on the command line at the 3rd execution, the -K instructs cf-agent to ignore this "one minute rule" .
